Ziggy IPA
An IPA on a base of Bere barley with a broad hop bill: Chinook, Citra, Cashmere, Mosaic and Nelson Sauvin. Like its sister beer it carries the name of a dog from the taproom. It pours clear and golden. Grapefruit, lemon and floral tones mark the nose; the palate is zesty and grassy, with a dry white-wine note from the Nelson Sauvin and a slightly dank edge. The bitterness is firm and the overall impression clean and crisp.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Ziggy IPA
Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.
The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
